Almost-Kähler smoothings of compact complex surfaces with $A_1$ singularities

Smoothings of Schemes with Non-isolated Singularities

In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally we obtain explicit criteria in order for a pure and reduced scheme of finite type over a field k to have smoothings and Q-Gorenstein smoothings.

N = 2 Topological Yang - Mills Theory on Compact Kähler Surfaces

We study a topological Yang-Mills theory with N = 2 fermionic symmetry. Our formalism is a field theoretical interpretation of the Donaldson polynomial invariants on compact Kähler surfaces. We also study an analogous theory on compact oriented Riemann surfaces and briefly discuss a possible application of the Witten's non-Abelian localization formula to the problems in the case of compact Kähl...

Torsion in Almost Kähler Geometry *

We study almost Kähler manifolds whose curvature tensor satisfies the second curvature condition of Gray (shortly AK 2). This condition is interpreted in terms of the first canonical Hermitian connection. It turns out that this condition forces the torsion of this connection to be parallel in directions orthogonal to the Kähler nullity of the almost complex structure. We prove a local structure...

Complex Hessian Equations on Some Compact Kähler Manifolds

On a compact connected 2m-dimensional Kähler manifold with Kähler form ω, given a smooth function f : M → R and an integer 1 < k < m, we want to solve uniquely in ω the equation ω̃ ∧ωm−k eω, relying on the notion of k-positivity for ω̃ ∈ ω the extreme cases are solved: k m by Yau in 1978 , and k 1 trivially . We solve by the continuity method the corresponding complex elliptic kthHessian equation...
